Abstract: A movable barrier operator comprising a motor, communication circuitry configured to receive a control signal and communicate with a door lock associated with a passageway door, and a controller. The controller is configured to authenticate the control signal, wherein authenticating the control signal includes associating the signal with a first level of access or a second level of access. The controller is further configured to communicate with the door lock via the communication circuitry to permit opening of the passageway door in response to associating the control signal with the first level of access and inhibit opening of the passageway door in response to associating the control signal with the second level of access. The controller is configured to cause the motor to open the movable barrier regardless of association of the control signal with the first level of access or the second level of access.

Abstract: An intrusion prevention system can be embedded in an industrial controller to detect possible attacks on the corresponding physical system of the industrial controller. The intrusion prevention system can analyze the payload of network packets received at the industrial controller and predict what harm the payload of the network packet could cause to the physical system if executed by the industrial controller. To predict how the payload of a network packet may affect the physical system, the intrusion prevention system can perform a simulation with the payload of the network packet. The simulation can incorporate a model of the physical system, a copy of the logic used by the industrial controller and information relating to the current state of the system. The result of the simulation can be new predicted states for the physical system that can be evaluated to determine if a safety violation has occurred.

Abstract: Hydrokinetic fluid turbines utilize a flowing body of liquid to translate the kinetic energy of the fluid into electric power or other useful energy. The available kinetic energy is proportional to the squared fluid velocity in an open channel with a fixed cross-sectional area. The proposed twin turbine system coupled with a cycloidal magnetic gear exploits the hydrokinetic energy existing in open-channels.

This alignment is accomplished without the use of either a tubing spool or a BOP stack with an orientation pin. The tubing hanger alignment devices may be used to orientate the tree as the tree is landed so that the couplings and stabs between the tree and the tubing hanger line up with each other just at the moment of landing.
